Second Generation Ford Econolines

I know, I know, this site is primarily for the first generation, Ford, GM and Dodge vans and pickups and it is a fantastic site. Many members have assisted me in getting my old '63 Econoline pickup on the road.

But.......... i need some info. on second generation Econolines. Since Ford did not put a big Six or V-8 in its first generation vans and they were not really set up to pull a 26' travel trailer frame wise I am looking for a second generation Econoline to fit the bill. I am looking for a window van with a Big Six ( 300 cu. in. ) or small V-8 ( 302 cu. in. ). I had a nice all original 1978 Ford station wagon ( all totally original ) that did all my towing until last weekend when a tree fell on it in my driveway. Needless to say it was totaled. Looks more like a four door Ranchero right now. Anyway I am looking for a 1971 to 1974 Econoline window van. Prefer not restored as I want to do to it what I want to do it. If anyone knows of websites or forums for this type of Econoline I sure would appreciate the info.

I am definitely keeping my '63 pickup, thats my daily driver, but I need a beefier framed second generation.

Thanks everybody,

T.W.

tw,
i have a friend at work that you need to talk to. i don't have the pics of the van on my home computer, but i think his mom has the van you are looking for. this is his work # 540-652-4103 ask for larry. his mom has a '74 window supervan with a v8 and auto. it is close enough to go look at, if you like the pics. when i get back to work tuesday, i'll post them here, or you can call him and he will send them to you. it has been off the road for about 3 or 4 years, but he said it was still running at that time. make him an offer.
